The Fifteenth Gate
Compassion is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] we do not
kill or harm living beings.
Compassion :
a feeling of distress and pity for the suffering or misfortune of another
May we, together with all buddhas
Realize the depth of compassion
That we can better cope with the impermanence of life.
May this offering bring peace to all beings
May our actions contribute to the harmony of The Universe
And, may all hearts and minds be opened to The Present.
